Hello Dexter,
Same problem with my router as well. It rediredirecting me to this page "https://www.facebook.com/wifiauth/config?gw_id=" which shows this page is broken. The GUI is not responding soon after this page opens.
One more thing is that it shows a router firmgrade is available but when tring to install it after the download it shows an error
Here is my update and what I did.
I bought a "certified" router from amazon. It never worked with facebook, I oppened two cases with facebook and they just don´t care.
Trying to get this working in another way I noticed that It was asking me to update the firmware, and every method returned me with an error. So I decided to look for another method, and I found a "simple" way to do it with hotspot system that required to update the firmware with ddwrt. At the beginning I found the problem that I couldn't update the firmware with the correct "version". Then I found that the problem was that my "certified refurbrished" router was actually a Charter ISP one but it was, maybe on pourpuse, misslabeled.
What I did is to try to install the R6300v2CH (Charter ISP) firmware from ddrt, and then, after creating an account with hotspotsystem, configurated it.
It works kind of well, the thing that I've seen with my android and my ios is that the "login" button is blank so you have to guess that you have to touch it, but it's very natural to do, since there is no much information on the login screen. The other thing that I've seen is that on Samsung phones, the connection pop up window does not appear most of the times, and is not easy to connect, I hope that they are taking care of this.
I hope this helps you to enable your hotspots with facebook or twitter (which is why I bought mine) Should you have any doubts or questions, write a reply here and I will try to help you the best as I can.
